Lecture 63- Introduction to Christology- Part 2

Introduction to Christology- Part 2 (click here)
Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier
Christology is the true knowledge of the person and work of the Christ as it has been revealed to us in the written scriptures of the Prophets and Apostles.  The doctrine of the Apostles teaches us the true knowledge of the true God.  Only through Christ do we have access to the Father in the Holy Spirit.  This knowledge is a revealed knowledge.  Only in Christ, can we know the living God.  Without Christ, we are left to human opinions falsely teaching us a vast variety of false gods that have no life in them.  The True God is Life and He gives life.  He is the source of all life.  Without Him there is no life.  Only the True God is eternal and thus only the Eternal Living God can give eternal life.  To know the True God is to know eternal life.  To have the True God is to have eternal life.  Without the person and work of Christ, one cannot know the True God and one cannot have eternal life.

Christ in the Book of Ruth

Pastor Kachelmeier on Issues, Etc. talking about Christ in the book of Ruth. Chapter one opens by stating that there was a famine in the land. Thus, a man from Bethlehem in Judah sojourned in Moab. Then Naomi returns to the land with Ruth when she hears that the LORD has visited the land of Judah giving food. In the last chapter of the book, we are told Ruth has a son named Obed. Obed is the father of Jesse and Jesse is the father of David. In this book, the people of God our taught to wait in anticipation for the Son of David who will come and visit the land.  (click here to listen to the interview on Issues, Etc.)

Lecture 62- Introduction to Christology- Part 1

Introduction to Christology- Part 1
Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier
Christology is the study of the true knowledge of the person and work of Christ as revealed in the God-breathed scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.  Christ is the Savior who has come to save fallen humanity.  He is true God begotten from all eternity and also true man born of the Virgin Mary.  These are the two natures of the one Christ.  He has the divine nature being eternal God and the source of all life.  He has the human nature being mortal man able to die.  He is one person consisting of the personal union of these two natures.  We do not confound or mix the divine and human natures saying that He has one nature; therefore, we confess the two natures of Christ.  In the same way, we do not separate His divinity from His humanity saying that He subsists of two persons; therefore, we confess Christ to be one person of the Blessed Holy Trinity.

Lecture 61- The Written Word in the Days of King Solomon and King Jeroboam

The Written Word in the Days of King Solomon and King Jeroboam
Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier
In this lecture, we look at the significance of the written word for the use of the King of Israel. David walked in the ways of the LORD by listening to His voice in the written word.  However, his son Solomon did not listen to the LORD his God and the kingdom was torn asunder.  Even though Jeroboam was given the northern kingdom, he did not heed the voice of the LORD his God and followed the intentions of his own heart rather than the revealed will of God as found in the written scriptures.

Lecture 60- The Written Word in the Days of King Saul

Lecture 60- The Written Word in the Days of King Saul
Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier
In this lecture, we look at the significance of the written word for the use of the King of Israel.  Saul was the first king, but he failed to listen to the Voice of God as it was written.  His rejection of God’s word resulted in the rejection of him as king.  David replaces Saul and is given the promise that his son would bring in the everlasting kingdom.  Jesus, the Son of David, fulfills the promise given to David.

Who is Michael? More Deception by the Jehovah’s Witnesses

178Who is Michael?  What Does the Bible Really Teach?   To be clear, the Watchtower organization does not really teach what the Bible really teaches.  When the Watchtower
teaches its witnesses that the Bible “indicates” or that the Bible “suggests”, a certain teaching, let us be clear that suggesting or indicating is not the same thing as teaching.  Beware of such ambiguous language.
If the Bible teaches a truth, then it is not suggesting or indicating a truth.  Beware of the teachings of the Watchtower organization that tries to support their own false doctrines by saying that there are “Scriptural reasons” to believe what the Watchtower teaches, or we can “draw a conclusion” based upon a text of Sacred Scripture that agrees with the conclusions of the Watchtower, or “it is logical” to conclude that the logic of the Watchtower is correct.
For example, the Watchtower organization teaches that the Michael the Archangel is Jesus.  Yet, nowhere in the Bible is it every taught that Jesus and Michael are the same person.  Nowhere does Jesus ever say, “I am Michael.”  There is not a single verse in the Sacred Scriptures that ever teach that Jesus is Michael.

Lecture 59- The Written Word in the Days of the Judges

The Written Word in the Days of the Judges (Click here to listen)
Rev. Brian L. Kachelmeier
In this lecture, we look at the significance of the written word as a testimony against the people of God in their unfaithfulness to the LORD.  Moses warned the sons of Israel that they would rebel against the LORD their King and seek after other gods and a different king.  At the same time, we see how the written word testifies to the faithfulness of the LORD to His promises.
